Conditions of Use

The Telecommunications department of OIT, in conjunction with contractual agreements from the following companies:

ATX Philadelphia University's long distance provider.
Strategic Telecommunications Consulting (STC) Philadelphia University's Long Distance Billing Agent.
Urban Cableworks Philadelphia University's cable television provider.
Verizon Philadelphia University's local phone provider.

have established the following Conditions of Use regarding Telecommunications equipment and services.  When you use these systems, you agree to the following:

  1. To respect the privacy of other users; for example, you shall not seek or modify long distance PINs or Voicemail passwords.

  2. To respect the rights of other users; for example, you shall comply with all University policies regarding the placing of harassing or obscene phone calls.  These policies are in place for the protection of all University staff, faculty and students and are strictly enforced by OIT.  The violation of such policies is a criminal offense and OIT reserves the right to report such incidents to the University.

  3. To maintain the integrity and comply with the agreement of long distance billing provided by STC.  All calls made from University premises require a PIN except for calls to Philadelphia’s Zone 3 and toll free calls.  In the unlikely event that a call is placed without a PIN being required, all students assigned to that extension will be responsible for determining who placed the call, and the subsequent payment of that call.

  4. To respect and uphold Telecommunications services and equipment provided; for example, you will not intentionally misuse, remove, repair, damage, abuse, destroy or in any manner tamper with voicemail services or cable equipment. 

The Office of Information Technology will enforce this policy to the best of their abilities.  In accordance with established University practices, policies and procedures, violation of this policy may result in disciplinary review, expulsion from the University, suspension or revocation telephone or cable services, termination of employment, legal action, or other disciplinary action as deemed appropriate. 

Please refer to the Conditions and Use Policy published by the Office of Information Technology regarding appropriate use of Information Technology resources. This information is available from the Office of Information Technology or at their web site at http://www.PhilaU.edu/OIT under the "Important Policies" section.

The Office of Information Technology reserves the right to modify this policy as is necessary to safeguard University users.
